More About Coach Yoseph

Since 2012, I have been coaching basketball teams ranging from youth to college as well as a professional international team. In addition, I have worked with basketball players of all ages (toddlers through adults) and all skill levels (beginners to pro players) to enhance their performance not only through fundamental instructions & drills but also through strength and conditioning as well.

Over these past 6+ years, I have worked alongside many different coaches ranging from AAU, High school & College coaches to NBA player development coaches & NBA Players. Each interaction and experience has added to my coaching knowledge which I in turn incorporate into my training philosophies and programs.

In addition to coaching basketball players and developing their skills. I also have hands on experience working with high school and college athletes/teams as a part of my strength & conditioning clinical education.

I earned my Bachelors of Science Degree in Exercuse Science and I am a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).

I utilize the knowledge and experience from my college education by creating & implementing strength and conditioning programs geared specifically towards basketball players & the physiological demands of the sport. This helps to enhance players ability to perform basketball skills and sport specific movements more efficiently as well as for longer durations.

I have playing experience at the high school level as well as recreationally for 15 years. I have made a career out of coaching basketball and learning from some of the best and most talented players/coaches/trainers in the field.

There is no such thing as a "typical" session with me. My training plans are individually tailored to get the most out of every athlete.

I always take into account a bunch of different variables/factors when creating training programs for my athletes.
I assess the athletes abilities, goals, age/skill level, among other things.

My 1st session I evaluate each player by putting them through various drills to get a baseline of where the player's skills & athletic abilities are.

Then the player & I will sit down to talk about what they believe they need to work on and what they feel they do well. I will discuss what I’ve observed and what I believe is their strengths and weaknesses. After that we set expectations for their training program as well as short & long term goals.

After the 1st session, each session will differ depending on various factors, we adapt the sessions around these different variables.

I will engage the client by asking questions and making them think of the reasoning behind a specific drill or skill we're working on. (For example: I may instruct them on how to perform a certain skill and then ask why it should be performed that way or how it translates into a game situation.)

Proper Fundamentals create a solid foundation for us to build upon. Emphasizing fundamentals will create good habits and/or break any bad habits that the athletes developed.

My coaching and life philosophy is"You get out what you put in." I strive to instill this in the players I work with.

Client Reviews

Meera (CoachUp client)

My son and I loved coach Joey. We had our 1st session today and was very impressive right from the beginning. From the time I started communicating with him, he was very responsive right away and I could sense he was serious about coaching.
We booked a coach earlier who never showed up and hence had a bad experience and we were really nervous. Coach Joey got to the court before us and started the session even few minutes early and stayed after coaching to give feedback. He also sent a feedback to my son and seems to be very flexible. My son and I are looking forward to a lot more sessions with him and really appreciate Joey’s commitment and help. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants basketball coaching.

Virginia (CoachUp client)

Coach Joseph was early and spent extra time with Sean to understand what Sean's goals are for basketball. Sean was very physically challenged with the routines that coach Joe had him complete and provided advice and workouts to improve his game. Thank yu Coach Joe!

Andre (CoachUp client)

Coach Joey is an amazing coach! He teaches strong fundamentals, while getting the boys in basketball shape. His coaching style is definitely one that my 14 year old and 7 year old can adapt to and is well received. We will definitely continue to book more sessions with him!

Shannon (CoachUp client)

I usually do not go on line to review a product or service. However, this training was so good, I just had to this time. From the minute we logged on line, we were impressed with this coach. He was responsive and met us in a mutual location that was convenient for both of us. He spent over 3 hours with my daughter, generously giving much of his own time, to educate her and train her in all the important skills for basketball. I would, without hesitation, recommend Coach Yoseph for basketball training. We will definitely be booking him for future training sessions.

Prestly G. (8th Grade Travel Team Player) (Testimonial)

I loved about Coach Joey's coaching style was that when we messed up he would take the time to break things down for us so we could see where we went wrong, which helped me learn everything a lot quicker. Coach Joey is passionate about basketball and his players, he’s motivated to bring out the best in us, and he was very easy to talk with which is important for a coach to be approachable.

Sandra B. (Client’s mother) (Testimonial)

My 14 year old son and his friend trained with Coach Joey and the results were better than I expected. He was very detailed and methodical in his approach to the trainings. Every minute was purposeful, there wasn’t a wasted moment or wasted movement. Every drill was at game speed & they were all gamelike movements/situations that a player will see. In addition to all of the effort he put in creating the session, he was also a great teacher during the drills. When he first taught the players a skill, he would verbally and visually show the players the skill and then explain when to use it and why. He would then have the players demonstrate it to make sure they had the concept and skill fundamentally sound. Then he put them right into an intense drills where in order for them to succeed they had to recognize and execute the skill correctly.

Lakeisha R. (Player’s Mother) (Testimonial)

Coach Joey is a great coach! He's the best coach my son has ever had. My son’s team was winless the season before Coach Joey started coaching them. The first season he took over, the team went undefeated. Coach pushed the players both mentally & physically to get the best out of them. He gave each player his best effort and complete attention, which resulted in the players doing the same in return. I could see a change in my son from the very first weeks of the season. His attitude and work ethic increased on and off the court.
